I used to think that it was just the Washington Redskins (because I live near Washington) who had a problem with foul-mouthed and inebriated fans creating problems for families who want to attend games without being verbally assaulted. But then I spotted this item in The Catholic Spirit in St. Paul, Minn.

Here’s what my son said to me in the closing seconds of the third quarter: “I think maybe we should wait until I’m older to come to another game. I’ve never heard so much swearing in one building in my life.”

The Eagles used to have a judge in the stadium somewhere to arraign all the people arrested during the games. Now that they’re in a new stadium with more expensive tickets I’ve read this is no longer necessary. The Wall Street Journal ran an article on the NFL’s concern about misbehaving fans sometime in the last year.
